Chapter 115: Night Visit to Shizhong Mansion
Mi Yao nodded: "Well, we will live here for the time being, and just buy two maids to cook for us."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Master, do you want to buy two maids to take care of your daily life?" Zhang Bing asked.
"No, I'm not used to having people around me. This will do for now. If I need it later, it won't be too late to buy it."
"Master, do you not want to go to Shizhong Mansion dressed like this?" Zhang Bing asked.
"Wait a few more days and see if the situation in Xiaoyao Pavilion has been investigated." Mi Yao was concerned about this issue.
"Xiaoyao Pavilion has been established for more than ten years. As long as you pay, they will take any job. It is located in the upper mountains outside the eastern suburbs. I heard that Xiaoyao Pavilion has a lot of underground connections. Many black forces have tried to swallow up Xiaoyao Pavilion, but they all returned empty-handed."
"The director of Xiaoyao Pavilion, Xiaoyao, is only in his twenties, but he is a playboy. Women are often sent to Xiaoyao Pavilion for him to enjoy. Although he has ruined countless young girls, he is very good to women. Those who want to go home are settled with money, and those who want to stay are all in Xiaoyao Pavilion. It is said that he has more than a hundred wives and concubines." Zhang Bing trembled after he finished speaking. More than a hundred people, could he handle it?
"You enjoy life better than the emperor, and you're not afraid of being exhausted to death." Mi Yao sneered, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had a lot of things to do in the future!
"Everyone, go find a room to rest. Zhang Bing will temporarily arrange the division of labor among everyone." Mi Yao returned to the room, which was the main house in a courtyard.
Back in the house, the two children also left the space.
The two mothers tidied up the room. Mi Yao slept in the main room, and the two children slept in the inner room.
Not long after, Xi Xiaoya came back, followed by two horse-drawn carriages carrying bedding, rice, flour, grain, oil, pots, pans, and a lot of other food.
The house became lively.
Zi Yu and Zi Chen also ran out and ran around in the yard.
No one asked how the two young masters suddenly appeared.
Xi Xiaoya cooked the meal in the evening. The taste was average, but no one dared to say it was average. This tigress would only restrain herself in front of her master.
Late in the evening, Li Jian arrived.
"Greetings, master." Li Jian clasped his fists.
"You've had a hard time along the way. Sit down and talk."
Li Jian sat down.
"Master, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Li Jian was embarrassed.
"Just say it." Mi Yao thought that what Li Jianjian said should be related to his adoptive father who was a scholar.
"Master, your father is such a coward that he wants you to marry a bastard from the Lin'an Marquis's family. The old lady said that you are already married and have children, but Lord Mi wants you to divorce him." Li Jian clenched his fists in anger.
"Haha, he says his thing and what he does is my business. I just want to know why he suddenly thought of me and why he insists on me marrying into the Lin'an Marquis's family." Mi Yao asked.
"The son of Marquis Lin'an and Marquis Lin'an both work in the Ministry of Personnel. The emperor values the Ministry of Personnel, so I think they want to form an alliance with them and get some benefits. On the day the old lady returned home, Lord Mi mentioned this to her. The old lady disagreed, so that old lady Mi pointed at her nose, scolded her, and even beat her."
"I was so angry that I wanted to go forward, but the old lady wouldn't let me. I guess she was just trying to be submissive and wait for the master to come and deal with it." Li Jian said.
"Well, tell me about their family situation." Mi Yao tapped lightly on the table with his index finger.
"When Sir Mi entered the capital, he encountered robbers on the way. He happened to meet the wife and daughter of the Chu family who were returning home to visit their relatives. Mrs. Chu ordered someone to save Sir Mi. After entering the capital, Sir Mi recovered and went to the Chu family many times to express his gratitude. As a result, he developed a friendship with Miss Chu and later they got married. Afterwards, Sir Mi learned that Miss Chu had been married for a long time and had two children. Because of the financial and human support from the Chu family, Sir Mi also recognized the two children."
"Mrs. Chu is a very good person. She coaxed Lord Mi around and gave birth to four children for him. Now she wants my master to marry into the Lin'an Marquis's family. She must want to use my master to exchange for an official position. Moreover, the illegitimate son of the Lin'an Marquis's family is a defective man. He married many wives, and all of them died." Li Jian told the whole story.
"Well, are Lan'er and You'er okay?" Mi Yao asked.
"Miss Lan is not good at speaking. Miss You couldn't stand Master Mi's dirty behavior, so she quarreled with Master Mi. Old Lady Mi accused her of being unfilial, beat her with ten rulers, and locked her up in the ancestral hall for three days. She was just released today. Miss Lan was scolded by Master Mi for asking for mercy, and Old Lady Mi even had the servants beat Miss Lan."
"In addition, the children born to Mrs. Chu don't like Miss Lan and Miss You. They also point at the second uncle's nose and call him a peasant." Li Jian continued.
"Oh, very good, you go back and tell my mother that I will go to see her in the middle of the night." Mi Mo almost laughed. What a peasant, what a peasant, just like how noble their roots are.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Mi Yao disliked this scumbag adoptive father even more. They could have lived in peace for their entire lives, but he insisted on causing trouble. So don't blame me for being cruel.
In the middle of the night, Mi Yao went to Shizhong Mansion. Xun knew that her eldest daughter was coming, and she cried for several times with excitement. With her eldest daughter coming, her backbone had come.
Milan and Daniu also stayed in Xun's room. Mi You had been studying the women's rings for most of the day, and after hearing the news, he also came to his mother's room.
As soon as Mi Yao entered the room, she saw tears on her mother's and her four children's faces. Milan was leaning in Daniu's arms, looking very bad.
"Mom, Lan'er, You'er, I'm here." Mi Mo felt angry and distressed when she saw the frosty looks of her four mothers.
I'm angry that they don't know how to resist, and I feel sorry for them. It's only been a few days, and they've been tortured into this state.
“Oh, woo…”
"Big sister, you are here..."
Mi You ran over and hugged Mi Yao.
Milan also wanted to come over, but as soon as she moved, her stomach started to hurt, her face turned pale, and beads of cold sweat fell.
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" Mi Mo stepped forward and quickly took Milan's pulse.
His brows relaxed and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"How is Lan'er?" Xun asked hurriedly.
"Mom, it's okay. Lan'er is pregnant. You're going to be a grandmother again." Mi Mo took out a porcelain bottle and a pill. "Lan'er, take it. It will protect the pregnancy."
Milan hadn't recovered from the shock yet. "Sister, you said you're pregnant?"
Daniel was also confused.
"Well, it's been about a month and a half since you rushed to the capital. You were exhausted along the way. You felt uncomfortable here and had a miscarriage. But you two should rest assured of my eldest sister's medical skills. The little one is fine." Mi Yao looked at the stars in her second sister's eyes and felt happy too.
Milan was so happy that tears came out. She hugged Mi Mo tightly and cried.
Da Niu was at a loss as to what to do and supported his wife from behind.
"Okay, Lan'er, let's not cry. A bad mood will also affect the fetus. Take this and eat one pill every day." Mi Yao patted her sister's back gently. Her sister was too cowardly and introverted. She never said anything and kept everything in her heart.
